Introduction to Testing

Note: Use only VetScan Reagent Rotors with the VetScan
VS2 Chemistry Analyzer.
The basic testing procedure is listed below. The remainder of this
section describes the details of collecting samples and preparing
the reagent rotor ("Collecting Samples" on page
processing ("Running Tests" on page
results ("Using Test Results" on page
1. Store rotors in a refrigerator (2–8 ºC, 36–46 ºF).
Rotors can be used directly from the refrigerator with-
out warming.
2. Collect the sample (lithium-heparinized whole blood,
lithium-heparinized plasma or serum).
3. Remove the reagent rotor from its pouch.
CAUTION: Inspect the rotor for any damage before use.
4. Dispense ~100 L of sam-
ple into the rotor through
the sample port, as shown
at right.
A 100 L sample forms a
line between the two
arrows printed on the rotor. If there are air bubbles in
the chamber, add more sample (not to exceed 120 L).
Expel air or bubbles from the tip of the transfer device
before adding more sample.
